url - Wordpress pagination behaviour

Question

Recently I added pagination to my site. Using paged param to WP_Query and get_query_var('paged'). For paginate links I'm using paginate_links() with format ?paged=1. Why Wordpress rewrites this format to /page/1? How to avoid that and leave pagination slug with query param and not like separate pages?

Answer 1

Fixed problem. Just changed query variable since page and paged variables are listed in query vars.
